True, both are written/created by Aaron Sorkin.
Both deal with American Politics as well as life in general at the White House.
But there's more...
* The American President has Michael J. Fox - who's cool.
* The West Wing has Dule Hill - who's cool.
* Both have Martin Sheen, who gets promoted.
* Both have a character named Leo.
* Both have female Press Secretaries - Anna Deavere Smith (who appeared in West Wing as Secretary of State) in President, Allison Janney in West Wing (who's character's name is C.J....versus Sheen's character A.J. in President).
* Both have otherwise useless speechwriter characters...Lewis Rothschild in President (played by Fox) and Sam Seaborn in West Wing (played by Rob Lowe)...who were too cool to lose.
* Both share Congressmen's names, like Stackhouse and Clark.
* If you pay close attention, you'll even recognize specific lines...("We don't have time to do things one at a time.")
Yeah...I need to get out of the house more...
